The Detroit Lions are the third team since at least 2010 to have both coordinators become NFL head coaches in the same offseason.

Now, the Lions are also starting over at both the offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator positions on their coaching staff, with OC Ben Johnson being hired to be the next head coach of the Chicago Bears and DC Aaron Glenn being hired to be the next head coach of the New York Jets.

After their 2024 playoff exit, the Detroit Lions have begun their rebuild, as Dan Campbell adds a new wide receiver to strengthen Jared Goff's offense. The Detroit Lions were unexpectedly eliminated in the 2025 NFL playoffs.

We're talking about the draft later than usual, but much sooner than anyone expected this year, now that we know where the Lions will pick in Round 1.

The Lions are the No. 1 seed in the NFC for the first time and host the Washington Commanders Saturday in the divisional round. With a win, the Lions could reach the NFC championship game for a second consecutive year and host the game for the first time in franchise history.

The offseason has unfortunately arrived for the Detroit Lions, about three weeks earlier than hoped. The shift into offseason mode for the team includes a strong surge into the draft–the base root of how the Lions have built themselves into a perennial contender under GM Brad Holmes and head coach Dan Campbell.
